Example Blog Group: (Group Number and Names of Group Members)

• (Put the link to your assigned clip here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdDqSvJ6aHc)
• This clip is a skit in which two actors are depicting Sarah Palin and Hilary Clinton giving aan address of some kind to the press and American People. This skit is an example of both satire and parody for a few different reasons. It is obvious satire because the actress playing Sarah Palin greatly over exaggerates her lack of political experience. An example of this would be when Hilary Clinton mentions she doesn't agree with the Bush Doctrine, and Palin responds by saying she does not know what that is, laughing slightly and shaking her head. Throughout the clip, whenever Clinton says something of political importance, Palin responds with something completely irrelevant. Her lack of political experience is over exaggerated in order to mock that vice. This use of mockery and exaggeration to denounce and deride is an obvious use of satire.

1. Example Group Comment (Group Number and Names of Members): The mockery of Palin is the most prevalent of the sarcasm. Also, Clinton's independence is exaggerated when she says she thought she would be giving the speech alone, and when she is giving of the names in which other refer to her as such as "harpy."
